We have two years to go Scott Walker on them and defund the left at the state level.
It all means nothing if Barky the Dogeater manages to get his 5-40 million illegal alien invaders successfully into this country, overrunning the system and giving Democrats majorities for the next 200 years.
“She has been a fixture in Washington for 22 years, always caught in some controversy, always blaming others, always cackling.”
Baggage, baggage, baggage. Look at the recent successful Dem candidates:
* Carter - Washington outsider, governor of a Southern state, not too well known nationally prior to the campaign.
* Clinton - Washington outsider, governor of a Southern state, not too well known nationally prior to the campaign.
* Obama - State senator from a Dem stronghold in a midwestern state, who only achieved national prominence a few years before the election, then snagged a Senate seat in a “gimme” race just in time to pad his resume for the Presidential campaign.
One thing they all had in common was that they didn’t have a lot of baggage for voters, at least at the national level. People didn’t see them and immediately remember whatever scandals, gaffes, and controversies they were involved in for the last few decades. Hillary can’t rely on that effect to help her.
The Republicans had the House, the Senate, and the White House for several years under Bush.
Did they remove abortion from the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court? (Which they can do with a simple majority vote.)
No.
"For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.”
-George S. Patton Jr.
I’ll affirm this map as true, the morning AFTER the 2016 elections.
Zackly! Anyone who seriously expects the Republicans to do the right thing hasn't been paying attention for the last 50 years.
I’ll be busy getting a tuxedo ready for the Cruz inaugural ball and ordering miniature medals for my lapel. Friends of mine from Iowa went to the 1989 Bush inauguration and they said many people wore their medals. She now runs the education program at the Bush Library & Museum in College Station.
I’m sick of the voting crap.... I need at least a 12 month recovery.
Of course it was intentional. How better to perpetuate a socialist agenda by bringing in 5M voters who favor it. Stupid GOP.
Yes. If the Republicans can’t govern this time (again), the base will stay home (again) and Shrillary or some “moment in history” empty chair will win (again).
The next president’s first act should be to only show up to inaugural bar-b-ques, not red-carpeted balls. Humility.
In a one party dictatorship, such as we have now, elections are only to perpetuate the system while giving the masses their “bread and circuses”.
What to expect from the dictatorship? Nothing. They will hold hearings; officials will lie; and life will go on. The next selection will come and go; the same people will remain until death; and the game goes on.
Elections have consequences; selections do not.
Whites voted 75/25 Republican in Texas and are pushing 80/20 in Louisiana. Same elsewhere in the South. Even though both Texas and Louisiana has boatloads of minorities (at least 30% of the voters in each), both states are now scoring 15 to 20 Republican victories, at the state level. In 2016, there won’t even be any presidential campaign down here.
Now go up to Michigan and Wisconsin, for example. They have less than 20% minorities (in fact, only about 10% in Wisconsin). All the Republicans have to do is take some of those numbers from WHITE VOTERS in Texas and Louisiana and apply them up there...and in some other states starting with Ohio.
For those that say it can’t be done, I ask why? Most white Texans are actually from out of state, yet they still vote correctly. The BIGGEST PROBLEM with adding to the white block vote is Republicans have a HUGE ISSUE with drawing distinctions between themselves and Democrats. Perhaps we act CONSERVATIVE, for once, as (just about) every Republican candidate in the South does? Maybe give the whites up there a reason to vote for us?
This out-of-control President is making life VERY EASY for us, if we choose to push ahead...and there is time. Let’s start flipping some states that we should own in the first place!
This could certainly be the case, but does ANYONE really believe that the voters won't become just as disgusted with the shenanigans of Boehner, McConnell and the GOP-e by 2016 that the dems won't come back as strong as ever?
I don’t know how widely read Mr. Surber’s blog might be, but, it’s a shame that this article could not be submitted to the major “printed news” outlets, and/or every major newspaper in the nation, to be run as a “Guest Editorial”. This is really good. (Unless you’re a DemocRAT.)
Media are orgasmic at the thought of a Clinton-Bush race.

I agree with the author of this article. I think Hillary is yesterday’s news. Her brand of politics is passé. I do NOT think she will get the Dem nomination. Anyone disagree with that? Agree?
